30 days 30 miniatures

Or in this case just over 30 strips of Baccus 6mm Romans.

These form the start of a To The Strongest Roman army circa 300 CE. Two units of Auxilia and one of Cataphracts. The Auxilia are veteran, as denoted by the command element being out front. The dice holders are to track strength, empty for full strength and a black die for down to one strength point. This rear portion of the base may be used to show more info such as ammo and lance totals and possibly a unit name. I have been quite taken by the system of magnetic coloured pins on steel paper used by Miles of Lair of the Uber Geek.



Apologies for the lousy photos but I was giving alfresco photography a shot given the lovely weather, only it was a bit too bright and too hot to linger around trying to sort out the shadows. The figures are based on 80x40mm minibits bases from Pendraken, and will be used on a 100mm grid. Rather uncharacteristically I appear to only have unarmoured Roman foot in the surface layers of the lead mountain.
